Honey drops

Am a bit obsessed with photographing the honey drops. The top photo didn't convert (to jpeg) very well and i don't know how to fix that. 

Three images, but the color seems really off

The image below was shot using the sun as a light source: 10 sec @ f16, single image


And the set-up i'm using looks like this:


The honey drops are on that place setting and slowly losing their round shapes as they sink or are absorbed into the material.

I am learning that it'd be best if i make a schematic of the connections and how they work. Each time i set this up, it is a bit of a task getting it all synced and working. So far, i've been able to always figure it out but its never easy nor straight forward. Still, it is an exceptionally good macro set-up and i'm very fortunate to have it.

I have a couple of insects i want to photograph but the spider is so yucky, i'm not sure i want such a close shot of her. It is a dead Black Widow that was accidentally killed some weeks ago and i have kept her as i wanted to do some close-up work but now i wonder.

And this man, David,  writes this wonderful photographic blog: https://shoottokyo.com which i highly recommend if you like reading what professional photographers spend their time doing.
